*sigh* My uninsured butt will soon be off to the dentist. One of my wisdom teeth has a cavity. Originally, that tooth was only slightly out and used to hurt me every now and then. However, I've been teething lately and more of the tooth has broken through the gum line, and it's shot to hell. All of the newly showing part of the tooth is cavity. It hurts too.
This really bites. I'm not particularly fond of going to the dentist. I took really good care of my teeth up until two years ago, when I relapsed into depression and stopped taking care of myself. In the five month period I gave myself five small cavities. And I had them all taken care of on the same day. I do not recommend that. Two and a half hours of someone forcefully holding your head back and shoving something in your mouth=not fun!(I don't see how porn stars do it.) I've been sort of frantic about my teeth since then because I didn't want to have to get another filling, ever.
They'll most likely set me up to have the tooth pulled. (It needs to be pulled.) On the bright side, I can talk to the dentist about finally getting braces. I want to see how much the Invisaline stuff costs and if it works.
